Fall is here and I think this is the busiest time for everyone. Both boys birthdays are coming up then Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tallyn will start basketball soon and I am very much looking forward to that. This is absolutely my favorite time of year, I think I function better if I'm busy.
We plan on going back to Texas to have Thanksgiving with the Brazell clan in Dumas. It will be good to see everyone. We don't see each other much anymore. Not to mention there will be a new baby to love on!!!
Christmas will be at my house this year. No, I'm not freaking out at all. I really am but it will all work out. Jeff demolished most of my Christmas decorations in the move to OK. I also think a few boxes never made to to my house. Hobby Lobby here I come!! We have family coming from California to New Hampshire and plenty of places in between. The more the merrier. I hope everyone can make it. Plus my mom will be making her stuffing YUM! One thing is for certain, our Christmas will have Christ involved. What would be the point of any of this otherwise??
Have a great season!!!!!
Ellie started her very first ballet/tap class this week.
I was not sure it would be a go at first. She refused to
go into the room. We sat outside and look at
the photos of the pretty outfits that all the girls
were wearing. Then she heard "The Little Mermaid"
and thought it might be worth a try. She walked into
the room like a big girl and pulled the door shut. All
the moms have to sit outside the room in the lobby. I
could peek through the blinds at her every so often to
check on her and she was having a blast. She said that
she wanted to dance everyday. She will have to settle
for every Saturday. We will see how it goes.

Rebel got one of his birthday presents early this
year. OK almost every year...I have a hard time waiting.
He wanted one of those phones with a full keyboard.
I did get the wrong color so we had to take it back
to get the blue and black one. I prefer the green myself.
Tallyn was excited to get Reb's old phone. His
was being held together by electrical tape.

The Boys
They spent the afternoon outside working on
their boards.
OK let me fill you in here. He took this one
for the newest GF. In the last month he has
had like 10 girlfriends. He has settled on this last
one for a couple of weeks now. He says they are officially
"going out". I still have not figured where they are "going"
He's 12!! I can't believe how much he has changed in the
last year.
I told him that I deleted this one. It's a good
thing they think this blog is "lame".

Bedtime Pillow Fight!!!!!!!!
This all started out to be a fun little thing before
bed however, in the end the boys were out to
get one another. You might be able to tell from
the look on Tallyn's face. Reb stayed in the hallway
and came in for the attack. Ellie was in the middle
of it all!

Back To School '08
Rebel started the 7th grade this year. Can you
believe he is that big!!
Rebel definitely has a mind of his own and does
not let the opinions of others shape who he is.
He has had several obstacles and has not let that
make him pitiful. He is very strong and I admire him
for who he is.
Tallyn is in the 4th grade this year. He is the
gentle giant of his class. His principle said that
she uses him as an example of how people should
treat each other. He is full of so much compassion
it makes my heart happy.
I am so blessed that God has allowed me to
be the mother to the two best boys around!!!!

ELLIE IS 3!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who drove to come to the party and to Brenda for making such a beautiful cake. The party was so much fun. We did have a change of plans because we had planned a swimming party and the weather called for rain and 82 degree weather. So last minuet we called around and got a clown to come out. The weather was nice but still to chilly for swimming so I'm glad we made the change.
She got so much great stuff and most of it is pink!!!! To those of you who got her makeup it has by some chance disappeared. Maybe it will turn up...hehe.

The party
Ellie and Mom-O the clown. She did face painting
and balloons...pretty good since we got her at the
last minuet because of the weather we could not
go swimming. most of the kids loved her.
This is the march to the birthday cake
I think Ellie was the last one to get her face
painted..she needed a little coaxing
